Maybe there will be 16 Finalists after all?

[Jack_]

Dermot was on This Morning today, and when asked if there will be changes to the Live Shows, he said the twist will involve 'ramifications down the line'. Now to me this sounds like some double eliminations [but later on in the series, not at the beginning] or more than 3 acts in the Final. There won't be any real 'ramifications' with just 13 finalists, so surely there's got to be 16?

Watch it here [the said bit is at 04:25]: http://thismorning.itv.com/thismorning/showbiz/dermot%E2%80%99s-got-x-factor

i hope there's 16

So does this mean a 5th judge then?

Could do, unless they'll all just rejoin their original mentors? I guess it would render the twist pointless though, cause they may as well have just picked four at Judge's Houses. Wouldn't four in one category and three in all the rest be unfair though? Unless of course they make the public vote for three out of the four to join this new category, and send just one Wildcard home in a 'cruel' twist?

Maybe the silhouette at the end of the show will be the 5th judge and he has to pick 3 out of the four to keep? That would stop the deadheats too if there are an odd number of judges/mentors.

Another interesting idea - could see that happening as well.

excep the silhouette looked like simon cowell (could make out the man boobs and flat head) I hope it's not that Pierce Morgan :yuk:

Could be KATIE PRICE.

The silhouette could also just be the one returning act.

Ugh they are just trying to copy Big Brother's twists and stuff to try and make themselves seem cooler now Big Brother is over every channel and production team are ******ing jumping on the ideas of BB.

-Seven Weeks or whatever the ****** **** 4 called it.
-The Only Way Is Essex
-And now X Factor is trying to act like something it's not.

It's a ******ing talent show, stick to your little singing and teen girls crying over 'hot' boys.

And another thing, it's so embarrassing when ITV start saying things like 'And there's a big twist' :rolleyes: It's like jesus, you don't know the first rule about making a twist...

Don't ******ing call it a twist.

You never heard Davina saying 'And there's a big twist' No, she just gives you a sexy little clue that we all go on here and complain or get excited about.

The "scrooge" is up to his old tricks again! :hugesmile:

Lol Pat!

yes we did.

What series exactly was this?

When Davina announces a twist she usually says something giving us a clue or telling us basically what it is.

Example:

'Mario is out but he may just of made it out on time as starting Monday the house will be divided into heaven and hell!!'

I'm fairly sure I heard her say she loves a good twist.

Well BB had twists CONSTANTLY so she's not gonna make a big statement everytime is she? Xfactor doesnt really have twists so its more of an event and worthy of a more dramatic comment.

And LOL at you asking me to pinpoint her saying something about a twist. Yeah right. :hugesmile:

[Iceman]

Woul love for it to be Nicole....(actually I'm just gonna check and see if she's in Japan)

[Iceman]

just checking that thing about Nicole now......Hmmmmmmmmmm

[Iceman]

Looks like she's in Japan :(

[Bazladoo]

the silhouette clearly wasn't nicole :rolleyes:

Have you seen what they do with silhouettes? They are never the same as who they turn out to be. Also dont come into a thread looking for an argument.

Sorry I disagree the silhouette is definatly a man and if the twist is a 5th judge then it's gonna be a man.

[Zippy]

The silhouette is just a symbol of mystery. Its not the specific person/s.

They couldnt put up a silhouette that represents all the categories could they?

That's why I think the silhouette is a 5th judge rather than the wild card contestants.

I dont know who they'd bring in though? :conf::conf:

I think Dr Fox would be a good choice.

If there were a 5th judge it wouldve leaked by now. It wouldnt be difficult for the media to find out who has cleared their diary for the next 3 months.

True thats why i was checking Nicole out to see if she was attending the F1 this weekend.....some say she is others say she isnt.....:conf:

What;s to say it's not someone who already works on the show that way they wouldn't need to keep their diary empty. Iy could be Brian, is he usually shown this much before the live shows???

Brian is the choreographer and thats what he enjoys doing. And its a full time job as he has to fit in all the acts.

Personally I think he's a crap choreographer and was a terrible judge on that Grease thing.

So no chance its him. If 4 acts are back then theyll be put with the 4 judges. Thats the simplest solution. And hearing 5 judges opinions on the show will take up too much time.
